Sony handy cam not detected when plugged in with ilink cable?

My Sondy handycam is connected with an ilink cable to my PC. I have previously been able to use it to transfer videos and have never had a problem. Tonight however, my computer is saying it's not detecting the handycam with the ilink. I have the handycam in playback mode like I'm supposed too and in the screen of my handycam it says "DV in" so it shows it's connected. Not sure what to do. Thanks you.for any help you can give!

    Try this:-

    Go into Device Manager (Control Panel / System / Hardware)

    Expand the IEEE1394 Bus host controllers, right click on your device and uninstall it. If it's not there to start with, you've got a problem!

    Shut down your PC.

    Connect the camcorder, switch it to play and reboot your PC. You should see messages coming up as the card and then the camcorder are detected.
